Browser: Mozilla 1.5
To duplicate:
- Click Home
- From top menu click Show Polls
- Click on any visible View Results link for listed polls
- Unexpected behavior: Link takes reader to poll thread where one can vote.
- Expected behavior: Poll results should be visible.
- Click on View Results at poll
- Unexpected behavior: The poll thread is re-rendered, this time results graph replaces place on head post where poll was.
- Expected behavior: The poll graph should be visible on its own, without attached thread or message.
- Click browser's Back button
- Unexpected behavior: Message pops up telling reader that page (s)he is trying to read contains POSTDATA that has expired from cache . . .
- Expected behavior: Reader should be able to return to previous page after viewing results of poll without warning or error messages.
- Click OK on warning message
- Unexpected Behavior: The same page (containing the poll graph) is reloaded.
- Expected Behavior: Reader should be able to return to previous page rather than having same page reloaded.
- Click browser's Back button
- Unexpected behavior: The same expired POSTDATA message pops up. At this point a the same cycle is repeated.

Not a bug, poll display has always worked like this and will continue to do so.
The back button issues I've tried but cannot replicate in Mozilla Firebird (Mozilla 1.5b), Konqueror 3.1.4 and Opera 7.21.

This is in part a bug in the mozilla browser.
FUDforum uses JavaScript to focus your browser on a particular message, to do so window.location.hash is set. In Mozilla, for reasons yet unknown to me this adds another page to your back history. For example if you viewed a.html and JS was used to change the hash you'd now have a.html (-2) a.html#hash (-1). Which means when you click back you get to a.html instead of the actual page you clicked on.
That said even with this issue I do not see 'expired' warnings in my Mozilla.
